Black Mage got pelted by two strikes of the birds and stumbled back. Fortunately for him however, the Zombie Titan he created was able to block the second wave of crows for him. "As if I would be beaten by you! You can't even use magic without those books of your's! The natural magic in this body is... I mean nevermind that! Prepare to-!" Black Mage began to shout back... in a rather oddly worded way. However, before he could end his death threat, Peri put her spear on the ground and used it to propel her to him and try and kick him off his high zombie. "Peri Kick!"

"Peri wha-AAAAAAAH!" Black Mage was kicked in the gut by Peri and they both flew off the Titan and the mage landed flat on the ground. He looked up to see Peri's spear coming down upon him. He quickly blasted her back with a bit of magic in the form of a shield to prevent the attack from connecting. He then disappeared before reappearing standing due to his Warp Spell to get to his feet. "You had your fun! It's just me and him! Take this!" Black MAge lifted up a giant skull spike right where Peri was standing.

The girl quickly jumped back over the titan as the spike of bones jolted up and tore through the large beast. This caused an angry growl as he glared at the interferring girl. "I don't care what your problem with him is but I won't let you kill Hen! I will kill you first!" Peri called out as she ran at Black Mage with her spear out and ready to skewer the diabolical mage. He looked down with his hat covering his face before he uttered something, "Hellwind."

A sudden red wind appeared from Black Mage and went through Peri as she seemed to slow down. If one was perceptive enough, they would notice her body quickly solidifying and turning into stone. She soon came to a stop short of the furious wizard, now completely petrified by the evil cursed winds he hit her with. Trapped in a stone prison, she was unable to help Henry any further at the moment. "Now it's just you and me.  Take this!" Black Mage jumped at Henry at quick speed and formed a scythe made out of darkness in his left hand and proceeded to try and slash Henry.

Henry  gasped, Watching Peri try to defend him with a 'Peri Kick', As he was stood up, Watching her begin fighting. "Peri, Watch--!" Henry was stopped, as Peri was covered in stone, as he looked at Black Mage, Clenching his fists as he was Slashed by the Scythe, His vest ripping open and spraying blood out of his chest as he looked at Black Mage, Panting a little...Something wasnt right it was obvious..

p_1d20+5=17 (Does Henry know Black Mage isnt Black Mage?)

"You know, The best part about this world of Li?" Henry would ask, chuckling, as suddenly, Smiling wide with Psychotic Gusto. "Im gonna get to kill you, And all i gotta worry about is keeping the Trophy, you Stupid Necronomicon!" Henry said, suddenly reaching behind him, and pulling out his Dusty Asist Trophy generator, Activating it as it burst in a bright light, as suddenly, an Elec Man Assist trophy emerged from it, Landing infront of black Mage and firing off its Elec Beam!

(Attacks by firing the mighty Elecbeam! 15% damage per attack with an accuracy roll of 17 WIS, 3 attacks, can target up to 3 opponents. Each Elecbeam has a 25% chance of paralysis!)

With the Distraction provided, Hery proceeded to try and throw yet another Demi-Afflicted Vase at Black mage, aiming for his head...


p_1d20+5=24 (Demi, 14%)

Shaking his head, Henry then raised up a hand, Generating a black void of energy, throwing it forward at Black Mage, Trying to use the dark power of Nosferatu to Transfuse his Health to henry!


p_1d20+5=6 (Nope)

All his attacks exhausted, Henry looked at the Petrified Peri, Hoping that by getting Black Mage to attack him instead of her, She would be safe for the time being.

The Black Mage Necronomicon gave a chuckle in response to Henry as if there was something about his threat that sounded amusing. Even with his body under heavy damage and an AT being summoned, he found humor in Henry's threat. "Oh, so close yet so far from the truth..." he spoke up smugly even as he was jolted and his body went numb by shock from the AT. Despite this, he was able to blink away from the 2nd bolt in typical Black Mage fashion but he still fell victim to the 3rd shot. His head flew back from the vase but he was still in condition to evade the draining magic.

"I wouldn't be so hasty if I were you. You got it right that I am the Necronomicon... But there is more to it. That fool tried to use his Black Magic to control me but I was able to use his magic against him and take control of his body. If you trophify him, then that last bit of strength I don't own will fade and you will lose your friend forever. And despite your fondness of death, can you really do that," he revealed before putting his hand towards Henry. "Now I shall use all your love against you by your own friend's signature spell. No one can save you now. Ha-dou-" The book continued as a magic barrier formed around him with 3 skulls floating around. A blue orb formed in the possessed mage's palm as it seemed to siphon the love out of Henry slowly. However, if he was watching behind the mage, he could notice Peri's statue form shifting and cracking.

"As if you deserve his love! I will enjoy murdering you the most you stupid book!" Peri called out as she broke free with stone fragments flying everywhere. "Wh-what?! How did you-?! Doesn't matter! If you kill him he will-" However the evil book was cut short as the killer doll took advantage of Black Mage's feeble strength and kicked the book flying out of the mage's hand and then throwing her spear at the book to pin it to the wall.

The love flowed back to Henry as the spell canceled and Black Mage blinked with his eyes returning to their golden color. He then fell to his knees and his skull adorned attire changed back to his typical attire Henry was familiar with. "That... was a pain... Thanks you two... for shutting him up," Black Mage spoke out as his body visibly trembled a bit. "But... could you of tried to hurt me less?"

Henry rolled his head a little, still keeping up his cheeky smile as he watched the Necronomicon Possessed Mage begin to explain why his idea of Trophification was a poor one at best. "Ah, Doesn't matter, im sure he would of loved to die by the hands of a equally skilled mage~!" Henry cheerfully said, as he opened his arms. "Oho~! I always wanted to get hit by this, bring it, bring it~!" Henry said, grinning like a fool as if challenging the Necronomicons superiority....Before the Stone cracked, allowing Peri to smash the necronomicon and pin it into the wall, making Henry Gasp in enjoyment.

"Oh my GOSH i love you!!" Henry said, hopping excitedly as he ran up to Peri, Hugging her excitedly before letting go and moving to help Black Mage pick himself up. "Ah, There's that grumpy voice i know. C'mon best buddy, This is also my best buddy, Peri!" Henry said, nodding between the two, visibly shaking in excitement. Henry had TWO murder friends! Two of them! Thats twice as good as one!

Henry then looked at the Necronomicon on the wall, tapping his chin. "Hmmm...Should we  take that back? Preferably on the end of that spear, So nobody around here infects it, or takes it for evil business?"

[Coolshaymin]

"Glad you are okay Hen Hen~! That petrification spell was a cheap shot," Peri replied as she hugged Henry back, momentarily ignoring Black Mage. Well, he was glad to see those two happy but he was the one that was severely injured right now. Though he was not as damaged as that book. Black Mage stared at the Necronomicon with his golden eyes for a moment as he considered something. Peri got away from Henry for a moment to offer a hand to Black Mage for a moment to help him up. "Nice to meet ya, magey. You seem a bit too serious but if you are good to be a friend of Hen Hen's, then you're a friend of mine," Peri added to Henry's introduction. Black Mage looked to the hand for a moment... He reminded him of someone he'd rather not think about... But she was a bit more relateable. "Fine, could use more friends. Good to take hits," the mage commented as he was assisted.

"Yeah, leaving it out here to make a zombie army sounds annoying and I kind of need that spear. My supply is back home so I need to keep a hand on what I can. Though we can't just let him be free..." Peri pondered for a moment as the other mage walked towards it. "It's good. I have been plotting a plan to deal with him in case I was freed. And now that he is weakened, this will work without fail. After all, I am a Warrior of Light, bound together by these," Black Mage began to explan as he reached into his robe and pulled out a blue crystal. "I learned these crystals have uses outside being a symbol of a hero. It allows me to change my class and abilities through my personality. And I can use this spell to seal away the Necronomicon and aqcuire the role of a Necromancer. Funny how your trap leads to me getting more power, huh, you stupid book? Seal!" Black Mage thrust his crystal forward as a blue light shone brilliantly. The Necronomicon faded in dark specs that went into the crystal's light before being completely absorbed.

"... So, the book is gone? You sure that won't backfire?" Peri asked after a moment as the light dimmed down. *Black Mage has mastered the Necromancer Class!*, these words went into Black Mage's mind from the crystal as he pocketed it away. Turns out that the legend he read was true after all. "Yeah, it has no will of it's own anymore. The crystal will make sure it's power stays under my control. Now, how about we get going? I am getting very hungry after all that," the mage responded after a moment, his stomach grumbling quite furiously.

[PolarStarQuote]

Henry...Wasn't sure how to react to Peri's Hug in return. Sure, him delivering hugs was just part of his cheerful nature, but, receiving one from her was...Surprisingly unexpected. He never expected getting a hug back. He was sure he appreciated it, something inside of him was certainly glowing happy from Peri returning his affection, as he let go. He smiled bright. "Oh yeaahh, The Convoy! I forgot about that, haha, Probably why im starving to death now-a-days!" He said, grinning as that fact didnt...seem to phase him. One might have to wonder if the reason Henry was basically skin and bones was due to him not eating.


Watching Black Mage seal the book into a Class for himself gave Henry butterflies in his belly, giggling as he clapped like an excited schoolboy. "Ooo! Neat!" Henry would say, as he excitedly observed Black Mage...And then Food was brought up. "Oh yeaahh, I haven't ate all day neither! Part of a personal challenge to see how far i could go, but, I could go for a bite, haha~" Henry said, his stomach letting out an agonizingly loud growl of Hunger and Pain, making Henry clench his teeth...


"I did get some stuff back at my apartment, but, I aint too skilled as a chef. But i sure can try, if no one else will offer!" Henry said, smiling as he was unaware of Peri's secret talent...

[Coolshaymin]

Black Mage looked at Henry for a moment as if he was questioning the boy's lack of nutrition. Well, he was not really that strong either but at least he ate... when the opportunity arose. He wasn't really the chef of the party by any means and doubted he would even want to try that. At the same time, he is not exactly confident in the cooking ability of someone that can starve themselves... "Well, I guess we are eating-" Black Mage began.

"At Hen hen's place~! I am pretty good at cooking. People actually quite like my cooking, often saying it's some of the best food they've eaten," Peri said to Black Mage's surprise as he looked at the girl with cotton candy hair... She... definitely did not seem the type to be a chef. "... You cook?" Black Mage asked skeptically. "Of course~! Due to my tendency to kill my servants there was always a risk to them poisoning my food since they know they can't beat me in a fight. I took to making my own food just in case. Sorry, Hen hen, but do you two at least want to try it?" Peri offered and claimed to be a very good chef...

"... You had servants?" Black Mage still seemed to be in a state of disbelief as this girl was making less and less sense to him.

[PolarStarQuote]

Henry smiled, grinning as he nodded to Black Mage after Peri gave her offer. Good food sounded amazing! Henry happily started skipping his way to the entrance of the Crestfallen Castle. Seems he wanted to lead the way home. "Sounds like a good reason for me! I always wanted to feel food poisoning, But, I dont mind the other way, haha~" He would say, smiling and  admiring the gore that he had previously walked through. 

"Our first meal together as best friends! Hehe~!" Henry would say, happy to comemorate the occasion.

[Coolshaymin]

Black Mage looked to Henry as he seemed interested in the food of this girl... Well, if it was made to prevent being poisoned, probably not half bad. "... Fine, I will humor you as well," Black Mage relented in his typical way though part of him seemed genuinely interested if you listened close enough. "Great~! Lead the way Hen hen!" Peri replied excitedly as she followed Henry.

Black Mage began to follow before looking back at the bodies. So, this is what happened after the Necronomicon took over... Or at least he thinks so. Honestly, his memory was still a bit foggy of the events while he was possessed and he was unsure if there was any alteration... Still, if he did all this with his magic... How many were genuinely good and how many were actually controlled or evil? Could he lose control like that again? Sure, his magic was made for this but... he was still a Warrior of Light, right?

... Of course he was, he shouldn't really care this much. To destroy those that wish to cause suffering and destruction, you must fight back with the same. White Mage is a good girl, but her way is not going to stop evil. "Hey, Black Mage! You coming? There may not be any leftovers~!" Peri's voice called Black Mage out of his train of thought. Man, that book must of messed with his mind more than he thought. "Hey! It was my idea! I better get something!" the mage called back, giving one glance back before giving chase after his new friends.

(zzzzzzz... Oh right, forgot to put that...)
